Shoaib Akhtar available
LAHORE, May 16: Pakistan’s fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar is available for the Afro-Asia Cup to be held in Bangalore and Chennai in June. Shoaib was thinking of opting out of the tournament, which comprises three ODIs and a Twenty20, because of family commitments but announced his availability after consulting his doctors and family members.
“I am available (for the Afro-Asia Cup) and I am keen to play and do well,” Shoaib told PTI. “The series is a good platform for me to make a strong comeback.”
The fearsome paceman said that he had recovered from his knee injury and a slight hamstring problem.
“I am fit now and I have also been consulting with Wasim Akram and Imran Khan on how best to preserve myself and keep myself in top shape for future assignments.”—Agencies
